Haydn: Symphonies Nos. 93 to 104 "Salomon") (London Philharmonic, Eugen Jochum conducting; Deutsche Grammophon; 6 LPs; $33). Individually, these symphonies delight unceasingly with their diversity, wit, bounteous melody and, at times, power. Collectively, they are the crown of Haydn's lifework.

...regime had envisioned the trial as the climax of a two-year campaign to crush, once and for all, a nationalist resurgence in Spain's four Basque provinces. But the kidnaping of Eugen Beihl, a West German diplomat still held hostage somewhere in Spain, proved that the E.T.A. was still in business; moreover, when the trial got under way, an unprecedented wave of strikes, demonstrations and clashes with police erupted in every major city in Spain.
